[XLVIII]
At eight o'clock sharp in the morning, the designers and stars arrived at the studio on time.
The moment they entered the room, they were all dumbfounded.
Hazel and Nicole immediately rushed towards the mannequin wearing the dress Hazel had made.
Mortified, they saw that there were several holes at the hem of her dress.
"Who did this?" Beck, Nicole's assistant, shouted.
The photographer immediately called everyone in the crew of the program over.
"Was it bitten by a mouse?" one of them muttered.
"It's more than one foot away from the ground. How could a mouse do it? Jump on it and bite? What's more, none of the others are ruined, just ours. I think someone must have felt threatened by how well we were doing, so he deliberately destroyed our dress! Don't you all agree?" Beck said unkindly.
The director pointed angrily at several cameras on the wall. "When did you turn them off?"
"After everyone has left and the room has been closed," the photographer answered.
